Re: 1962 Lonestar "Flamingo" - I finally Started w/pics
I am Bummed today!!! A friend of mine that I have worked with on a daily basis, passed away yesterday. She leaves behind twin 13yr old girls and a 16 yr old son and a Husband of 30 yrs. She was always asking about my boat and going out to iBoats and looking at the progress I was making and telling me to hurry up so I could take her for a ride. I didn't make it! Just 4 short months ago she went to the Dr. for what she thought was Gall Bladder issues and discovered she had Advanced Colon Cancer. Being 61 this has really made me stop and think about how important each day is and I just wanted to pass it along to all of my iBoating friends that We should all ENJOY the time we have working on these old boats and having fun on the water with friends and family. You never know when it can all be cut short. So... Today take the time to Stop and Smell the Roses!!!!
So ya just had to make me come read the trailer part......things like this drive me to keep going, because I dont know how much longer I will be alive....I promised my son I'd keep up the fight til hes 18, but keeping that promise will be up to fate! Anyhow part of the drive for me on this project is leaving my son something that will always remind him of dad, and I want the resto to be done well enough, that maybe he can take his kids out in it and tell them about grandpa.
Trailers looking good, need to find some way to get mine flipped up-side down, my fenders wont come off so cant just roll it, lest i break my fenders. Anyhow, done with the prep for priming on everything I can reach for now til its flipped. thanks for the good info once again!
